One story to share:
There was an ad in my local craiglist from a parent of an autistic kid who took apart his bed and declared he would only sleep in a futon. "No money. Please help!" Fine.
I write to her, give her the dimensions and a good description of my futon. It's on the third floor. She writes back demanding picts and someone to help her carry the item! I suggested he son who obviously is capable of such things. My description was stellar as was the item and did not feel I should waste my time taking pictures and uploading for her.
She was relentless in hounding me for picts for weeks despite me being firm that she wasn't getting any but the item was excellent and waiting for her. Her last email was an angry one weeks later telling me she got a futon from someone else who sent her picts.
Ridiculous thought process. Not to mention (if her story was even real) her son was sleeping on the floor for 2 weeks while she got the "perfect and free" futon.
I still do not think beggars should be choosers. They are opposite concepts.

We're not all like that. I'm autistic and poor with requirements due to my condition but at least I am realistic and live within my means, and further more I have a cheap bed which collapsed, then I fixed it myself with wood and hammer....
